    This is true. Their system promotes people to abandon to find a game rather than just wait in queue.

    This also plays to the reason why if you are in queue for over 30 minutes, you should just withdraw and requeue. Say it is trying to form two games, 24/24 for your GC in game #1, and 3/24 for game #2. Some people will withdraw from game #1 so any new players who queue will get into the game #1 list while the 3 people in game #2 will be stuck there waiting despite queuing first (i think it will try to move them eventually, but newer queues take priority for at least some amount of time). There is just some really funky logic going on with the queues and while it may work for PVE, it is absolutely wrong for PVP.

    I don't think they realize how much queue times dissuade people from participating in PVP. The faster and more reliable the queues, the more people will play PVP. When I stop playing, or don't requeue, it is usually because I don't want to wait in queue - not because I no longer want to PVP.

    I think the best fix would be to have a single list of queued players for each game mode and create a game when 24/24/24 is available. If five or ten minutes pass and 24/24/24 is not available, try to form 8/8/8. The problem is, this doesn't really work well with how the PVE queues work so it may be more complicated than it seems. Maybe separate the queues so you can't queue for PVP and PVE at the same time?
